00:00This is the new Polestar 2, and I know what you're thinking, it looks exactly the same as before.
00:06And that's kind of the whole point, because when your car already looks really good,
00:09drives really nice, and has great range with heaps of technology,
00:13why do you need to go back and reinvent the entire wheel just for fun?
00:17Because while it's suddenly cool to release a new brand or a new model
00:21in this experimental new car market that we have in Australia,
00:24Polestar's doubling down on buyer confidence.
00:27Polestar's focused on small but meaningful quality of life updates here for the 2026 model.
00:32It's got this quilted leather front seat, which looks great, but it's also super comfy to sit in.
00:37There's a new wheel option on the Performance Packer 20-inch Forge.
00:41You've also got a new sound system over and above the Harman Kardon system that's already fitted in this car.
00:46It's a Bowers & Wilkins 1350-watt system with 14 speakers and 3D audio.
00:52It sounds absolutely ridiculous.
00:54Then they've gone behind the scenes and added small but meaningful updates to the technology.
00:58It's the same touchscreen as we've had before, the first of its kind with Android Automotive in Australia.
01:03But it's running a new processor, a Qualcomm Snapdragon unit that's usually used in flagship smartphones.
01:08So this thing is super snappy.
01:10They've sold over 180,000 Polestar 2 since the vehicle was launched just a few years ago.
01:16So why fix something that's not broken or why reinvent the wheel when you already have a great EV?
01:22But as always, you guys let me know what you think about the new Polestar 2 in the comments.
01:26Have they done enough?
01:27Let me know.
